AI Yangjae Hub, Startup Hub Seongsu Followed by National Assembly Library Opening... Access to Same Data as Main Branch Available
[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] Seoul City announced on the 18th that it will open the ‘Big Data Campus National Assembly Library Branch’ on the 19th, where anyone can freely analyze and utilize private and public data collected since 2013.
The Seoul Big Data Campus opened its main branch in Sangam-dong in July 2016 and currently operates seven branches by region. The Big Data Campus is equipped with over 300 types of valuable private and public data and analysis infrastructure that are not open to the public. Citizens can apply for use, visit in person to analyze data, and the analyzed results can be utilized after going through an export procedure.
At the ‘National Assembly Library Big Data Campus,’ the same big data as the main branch in Sangam-dong can be accessed. It allows viewing of private data that citizens find difficult to access, such as credit card, public transportation, and floating population data, as well as detailed public data including residential population and IoT data.
Seoul City expects that the opening of this branch will increase the convenience of using and accessing the Big Data Campus for nearby citizens. In collaboration with the National Assembly Library, it is anticipated that they will be able to jointly solve various urban problems in Seoul by utilizing big data.
